Maps, science, data & statistics tracking of COVID-19

Funny as that is, it doesn't really jive with the earlier statement that in Taiwan Gov't there doesn't interfere in people's lives

How is that interfering when you're under government mandated quarantine?
Are you seriously saying that you think that people should be allowed to breach quarantine? That's exactly the kind of crap that has placed the world in the situation it is now, because the few are not willing to do what is needed to make sure the many doesn't get sick.

 

[R-T-B]

Not yet it

We already have people who have caught it twice...

 

[R-T-B]

That's because most illness is not deadly not even all that serious. Covid19 has proven to be serious to certain members of the population. There wasn't a need previously.

His point is, there will be one someday, and this should be a more serious wakeup call than it presently is being treated as.

Sorry, I didn't catch the quarantine part. I assume they don't do that for normal not quarantined people.

Indeed.

Still, they've been rocking the pandemic.

Being an island does have that benefit!

In theory... yes.

No one is saying that, they're pointing out that your statement is a textbook example of the "Government interfering with people's lives"

Ah, but Hawaii is stuck with the same (lack of) governmental direction the rest of the states have. Hawaii is nowhere near the island that Taiwan is. It's just a 'slightly separated' state.

Here's Portugal's updated numbers this week:



The above pics are, in order, last day updated numbers and every day since then until today's numbers (click for full picture), and the below numbers are current totals, week totals and daily averaged this week:

- 68208 active cases --- 2546 less --- 363.7 fewer per day
- 319746 recovered --- 27513 more --- 3930.4 more per day
- 6619 fatalities --- 485 more --- 69.3 more per day
- 394573 confirmed infected --- 20452 more --- 2921.7 more per day

- 5323341 tests taken --- 136666 more --- 34166.5 more per day but was last updated December 21st and it includes antigen tests as well
- 92069 under watch --- 9478 more --- 1354 more per day
- 2870 hospitalized --- 157 less --- 22.4 less per day
- 504 in ICU --- 21 more --- 3 more per day

Was forced to use Christmas day's situation report because the "usual report" wasn't published.

New cases have dropped by roughly 700 per day VS last week, hospitalized decreased roughly 5%, but ICU increased by over 4%. Unfortunately the fatalities continue VERY HIGH but decreased by 90 VS last week.

This week is atypical because it includes the Christmas holiday period which, though not reflected yet in tests taken because it's last update was on Dec 21st, it explains the significant drop in new daily cases: fewer tests done = fewer cases detected. This isn't reflected in the hospitalizations, ICU and fatalities numbers which, with the exception of ICU, all had sizable drops. We should start experiencing the adverse effects of relaxing the restrictions on Christmas Eve / Day by the end of next week or the beginning of the week after

The UK is not looking good at all, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are pretty much in full lockdown from yesterday, some of it because of expected hikes because the people were given Christmas Day with some family, albeit limited, England has the worst of this new more infectious variant, it is believed it is accounting for 60% of all new infections and rising, 90% of England are in very tight restrictions with just 7.5 million (out of England's population of approx. 57 million) in slightly lower restrictions, fortunately for me where I live is currently in an area with those slightly lower restrictions (we currently have 170 cases per 100,000, some areas have 800!) but I have a feeling another national lockdown will be coming within 2 weeks and everything including schools will be closed, in the last 24 hours the UK has had 39,000 new cases, 574 deaths and in several areas of the country there are very few ITU beds left.

This new variant appears to infect far more under 18's than the older variants and is making many of them sicker than the old variants, of the 7000 hospital admissions we have had over the last 5 days apparently 16% of them have been under 18's.

Please move to the correct thread if it should not be here. 4HR ago

US reports its first known case of new UK Covid variant (msn.com)

 

[Caring1]

US reports its first known case of new UK Covid variant (msn.com)

Speculation until they determine the exact strain, as the South African strain is similar.

 

[lexluthermiester]

UK variant? come on

That's a real thing. There are several different strains in the wild now.

The first confirmed U.S. case of the more contagious British variant has been found in Colorado. (Published 2020)

I see maps and stats are out of fashion....

This thread for 'discussion' on any other COVID issue.

People are getting shots ,who shouldn't !

This thread for 'discussion' on any other COVID issue.

At this point, with Covid19 being so widespread, mapping it is a bit tedious. The situation has evolved into more of a stats and science tracking effort than anything else.

EDIT;
Thread title changed to reflect current modus operandi.

 

[Tatty_Two]

Still not looking good and that's despite very strict restrictions now almost everywhere in the UK, in just 3 days we have gone from this new variant being responsible for 60% of all new cases to 70%. France and Italy are looking very similar statistically too, god help them if the new variant takes a greater hold …………..

- 7118 fatalities --- 499 more --- 71.3 more per day
- 427254 confirmed infected --- 32681 more --- 4668.7 more per day

- 5641132 tests taken --- 317791 more --- 35310.1 more per day but was last updated December 30th and it includes antigen tests as well

- 3044 hospitalized --- 174 more --- 24.9 more per day
- 500 in ICU --- 4 less --- 0.6 less per day

Was forced to use New Year day's situation report because the "usual report" wasn't published.

New cases have increased significantly per day VS last week: almost 60% per day more. Hospitalized also increased by about 5%, but ICU decreased marginally. Unfortunately the fatalities continue VERY HIGH, also increasing slightly more than last week.

We're now under effect of Christmas holiday restrictions easing but it should get worse due to the New Year's restrictions easing which we aren't under it's effects, just yet. We've also crossed 7K fatalities yesterday

It's not going great in Denmark either any more. The new British mutation of the coronavirus. Has been expanding rapidly in Denmark as well and we are in a full blown lock down again.

Today danish government announced, the more or less last restrictions they have left. Only a litterly ban going outside is what they have left more or less.

They have given up on getting the new virus under control. Instead they used the last restriction, to delay the virus as much as possible until spring and now use the time to vaccinate as many people as possible before this new virus gets a hold on the public and spreading fast.

Danish government said this at the end of the press conference: it is no longer a matter of getting the virus under control, but a race against the time. To delay the virus and vaccinate as many as possible. This is a serious situation l, that will push health care to its limits and more people will lose to the virus and pay with there life.

How is Denmark handling it financially? How are the companies that are being shut down surviving? Just wondering

Thanks to Denmark started out with no dedt. We have been able to loan more money from EU and support a massive help package for companies and workers. We still lost jobs, but overall in 2020 we where one of the countries that came out the best in Europe financially. We have not seen many bankruptcy for now actually fever bankruptcy than normal, but when these help packages is stopped. It is expected to see an after match of bankruptcies as companies with an all ready weak economy has been kept alive artificially by the government support.

But over all we have done pretty good so far. But there will be a huge dedt to pay back when all of this is finally over. There will be less welfare as Denmark is so known for to have.

Also in general, danish people have more saved up now than before the pandemic. Cause we are not able to spend money cause of restrictions, so we are especting when we can open up again that a economic recovery can happens pretty fast. After the first wave of virus, in 3Q2020 we had a record economic recovery. Now ruined by the second wave of virus.

Right now I am more worried about the outcome of this new virus, than the economy.

the most recent mutations in south africa are quite worrying to me. and the fact it seems to be mutating at a rapid pace. it's almost like its sentient aware the vaccine has arrived and its adapting. crazy. will be interesting to see where we are 6-8 months from now. if the vaccine wins out, or the mutations end up making the vaccine irrelevant

Yeah the virus mutation from Africa is worry some as well. Now with two critical mutations, more a bound to come. It's just a matter of where and when.

Also another worrying is does the African virus run the vaccine useless or not.

It is really a run against the clock. Do the vaccine or virus win.

I can say, danish government are now trying to win time until spring with restrictions and rapid vaccination program. They expect the new virus to be the dominant virus in February and have overtaken from the original virus from around half way in February. By then they hope that they have manage to vaccinate all elderly, weak and sick people as well as Frontline personal in hospitals. So the most important people and those with the biggest risk of serious illness or death are prepared to when the virus will be the dominant version and prevent a dissastor that will cause health care to brake down. An then they hope as we reach spring, warmer and more dry weather will help delay the virus spreading and use spring and summer to vaccinate the rest of the danish people and by the end of this year, have enough people vaccinated so we can begin a more normal life... I hope
